Effect of magnetic field on propagation of nonlinear ion-acoustic wave
Abstract
The Korteweg-de Vries equations describing the propagation of slow and fast nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in a magnetic field are derived by using a perturbation method. The effect of the direction of propagation on the amplitude and width of the solitary solutions are discussed.
